In this study we report numerical results of turbulent transport of heat $Nu$ and angular momentum $\nu_{t}/\nu$ in Taylor-Couette (TC) flows subjected to a radial temperature gradient. Direct numerical simulations are performed in a TC…
Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) and Taylor-Couette Flow (TCF) are two paradigmatic fluid dynamical systems frequently discussed together because of their many similarities despite their different geometries and forcing. Often these…
We present experimental heat transport measurements of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection with rotation about a vertical axis. The fluid, water with Prandtl number ($\sigma$) about 6, was confined in a cell which had a square cross…
We report the results of high resolution direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection for Rayleigh numbers up to $\Ra=10^{10}$ in order to study the influence of temperature boundary conditions on turbulent…
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study heat transport characteristics in a nonhomogeneously heated fluid annulus subjected to rotation along the vertical axis (z). The nonhomogeneous heating was obtained by imposing radial and…
Heat and mass transport is generally closely correlated to momentum transport in shear flows. This so-called Reynolds analogy between advective heat or mass transport and momentum transport hinders efficiency improvements in engineering…
Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, i.e. the flow of a fluid between two parallel plates that is driven by a temperature gradient, is an idealised setup to study thermal convection. Of special interest are the statistics of the turbulent…
We experimentally and numerically investigate the angular momentum transport in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow for independently rotating cylinders at a small radius ratio of $\eta=0.357$ for various shear Reynolds numbers ($4.5\times 10^3…
We report experimental measurements of heat transport in rotating Rayleigh-B{\'e}nard convection in a cylindrical convection cell with aspect ratio $\Gamma = 1/2$. The fluid was helium gas with Prandtl number Pr = 0.7. The range of control…
A series of direct numerical simulations of Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two coaxial cylinders, with the outer cylinder rotating and the inner one fixed, were performed. Three cases, with outer cylinder Reynolds numbers $Re_o$…
We report experimental results for heat-transport measurements, in the form of the Nusselt number \Nu, by turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio $\Gamma \equiv D/L = 0.50$ ($D = 1.12$ m is the…
We report the statistical properties of temperature and thermal energy dissipation rate in low-Prandtl number turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection. High resolution two-dimensional direct numerical simulations were carried out for the…
Taylor--Couette (TC) flow is the shear-driven flow between two coaxial independently rotating cylinders. In recent years, high-fidelity simulations and experiments revealed the shape of the streamwise and angular velocity profiles up to…
The non-hydrostatic, quasigeostrophic approximation for rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection admits a class of exact `single mode' solutions. These solutions correspond to steady laminar convection with a separable structure…
We generalize an analogy between rotating and stratified shear flows. This analogy is summarized in Table 1. We use this analogy in the unstable case (centrifugally unstable flow v.s. convection) to compute the torque in Taylor-Couette…
We present an experimental study of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection using liquid metal alloy gallium-indium-tin as the working fluid with a Prandtl number of $Pr=0.029$. The flow state and the heat transport were measured in a Rayleigh number…
We investigate the influence of the thermal properties of the boundaries in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection on analytical bounds on convective heat transport. Using the Doering-Constantin background flow method, we systematically…
Here we summarize the results from our direct numerical simulations (DNS) and experimental measurements on rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection. Our experiments and simulations are performed in cylindrical samples with an aspect ratio…
We present angular momentum transport (torque) measurements in two recent experimental studies of the turbulent flow between independently rotating cylinders. In addition to these studies, we reanalyze prior torque measurements to expand…
We study turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection through direct numerical simulations in a three-dimensional plane layer of aspect ratio 4 for Rayleigh numbers $10^5 \leq Ra \leq 10^{11}$ and Prandtl number $Pr=0.7$. We summarize the…
